TRC is not a holy grail that will protect you, but︁ if you psychologically feel protected with it, you can chase for it.
It definitely could︂ bring some added value as tax residence proof, but you will need to provide your︃ rental contract and some proof you actually live in UAE if authorities come after you.︄
Best is to break completely ties, have no assets in your home country, no residence︅ you can live at and just go there on vacation 2 months a year. You︆ can travel around in EU, just keep all proof of your stays outside your home︇ country as there are no border stamps.
So even without a TRC you can claim︈ proof of your residence as long as you can proof you live there most of︉ the time and stay away as much as possible from your home country.

This SHOULD be true. However, for many tax agencies this is not the standard process.︃ The process goes like this:
You do not live here? So where do you live?︄ Oh, you live in this country? Give us the TRC. And then they decide accordingly︅ and you can only complain by taking them to the court. Most of the times︆ the "ties" are not even questioned. They claim you need to be living and paying︇ taxes somewhere (except for UK maybe).
Keep in mind a DTA can also be a︈ LIMITATION. Because the agreement in itself have some clear boundaries to decide where the person︉ should pay taxes. So a DTA can be a limitation in that sense that it︊ now requires you to prove that you are a tax resident in the other country,︋ regardless of how strong the ties are. Here, tax residence is central.

Ok, in this situation I would not have Dubai/UAE very high︁ on my list of countries to tell tax authorities that I live in. It's a︂ tax haven so it's automatically treated with suspicion. And Spain and Italy even have special︃ rules against tax havens, making it extra difficult to change tax residency to one. Read︄ here for Italy for example (point 6): Residenza fiscale all'estero - ITAXA Blog
Instead Id︅ chose a country like Paraguay which has very low taxes but isnt treated as a︆ tax haven, and it is also easy to get residence in. Also a Sub-Saharan African︇ country is perfect, nobody expects one to go there for tax reasons, but they have︈ de facto low taxes (including typically no such thing as a personal tax return), and︉ authorities there dont cooperate with foreign tax agencies (no CRS, no nothing), and they dont︊ even answer to emails usually. Sometimes it's easy to get residency (with or without bribes),︋ sometimes it's not, depends on the country.

I totally agree. TRC is not an only document you will need, but︃ if you cannot produce TRC it can be very big red flag. They will instantly︄ think you are not tax resident in the country you say you are resident.
The reality is you need TRC and all other documents like utility bills, rent agreements, etc︅ etc
It will not be sufficient just to "claim". This simple document as TRC can help a lot.
